As always I think your car looks great Gordon. I agree, it looks like you ran off pretty good from him. Love these videos like this. Good stuff.

Gordon's car is very fast, but he ain't outrunning his brother in-law's '67 restomod (LS7) with 600+ hp. Gordon, fess up, did you disconnect something on Jeff's car ?!

Oh he$$ no I cannot out run him. He can outrun me with only 6 of those cylinders firing. At first he was just cruising along. Later on I just hit it for a second or two and he was filming so he was just driving along. By no means were we racing at all. Just filming each other on the road. I rode in his car for about an hour the day before and have driven it before, the difference between his and mine is drastic.

Jay,
I was wondering why I was getting such good gas mileage, Gordon took two of my plug wires off Actually we both burned allot of gas on that run. It just goes to show that if you try hard enough you can burn a sh%t load of gas even with overdrive

Gordon’s car really looks good going down the road. At high speed the suspension just settles right in and the engine has a killer exhaust note

Jeff

Thanks for the nice compliments. It was a fun day with over 700 Vettes there. I was supposed to go to an old timers drag race this Sunday and run my car but the Nor'easter we are drowning in right now has put a damper on the weekend.
